Palestinian resistance group Hamas announced Tuesday that it has reached a preliminary agreement with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff on a general framework for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, APA reports.
"We have reached an agreement on a general framework with Witkoff that ensures a permanent ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza, and the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid," it said in a statement.
The proposed framework includes a permanent halt to hostilities, a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the establishment of a professional committee to administer the enclave, and the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid, Anadolu Agency (AA) cited Hamas as saying. The group said the deal also included the release of 10 Israeli hostages, the exchange of several bodies with an agreed number of Palestinians held captive by Israel.
